Well, the thing is: There is not much stimulation when you’re alone in your basement. If you ever get a GF, or go outside... or even both at the same time (*gasp*)... that will change. ^^
Yeah right. Mod the messenger down because you know that I am right, and you would like to censor it, because you hate it. Doesn’t make it any less true.
Or who of you is his own boss? Hm? Who? (Yep, I am. And I’ll rather die than go back. Really. With blood and pain and everything.)
What the hell? OF COURSE cancer cells are a symptom! Yes, ever if your doctor lies to you by telling you something different.
The original cause is ALWAYS either generic, or ultimately coming from the outside. That’s it. Period. Radiation causes cancer. Aspartame causes cancer. A dirty environment (smog) causes cancer. Smoking causes cancer. And so on. Cancer is a result of something else. Always.
It’s a shame that nowadays even a doc will tell you with a straight face, that some organ is the cause. As if it were the ultimate cause. They will even call the headache the cause, when you bang your head against a wall all day long. But they will not tell you to do that. (Won’t continue making them any money, now would it?)
If anyone ever asks you if you are a God, say YES! (The same is true for messiahood.)
Then demand free sex and being fed and all, or the world will go down in flames! Word! And remember: You can be as nasty as you like. As long as it’s legal. ^^ Because, maybe you will cure a few of them from their delusions that way.:)
Well, then go with one of Nokia’s Linux phones. They seem to walk in the opposite direction and make the systems freer and freer. (They own QT, which gives you a feeling for their dedication.)
A reason? By the time you came up with it, it’s already too late. Oh, and even a single gas bottle can wreck the whole house, while fitting in that sports bag. So unless you step out of the whole building, you will be one of those who aren’t liberated by death, but still alive under the rocks for a slow and painful death.
Better just make a quick run. You will have enough to think up an excuse when nothing happened and you came back. (Protip: Raising you phone to your ear and running outside while saying hello always is a quick solution.)
Interesting side node: It will in the process change your view of the world, by creating bigger associations between whatever is stored in the areas where you create those patterns (or in other words: what you think about), thereby changing your character and who you are.
Yes, this happens with every input in our head. But the problem is that it’s not an input in this case, but a random learning. As opposed to real inputs, where your learning always has a point and a use. (Yes even the stupid lolcat and 4chan.)
When I buy software, and it has a bug that allows cracking, that’s the same thing as buying a car and then noticing that it accelerates to death. It’s the developer company’s duty to fix it ASAP, or face a lawsuit. For not complying with the contract and for fraud. Asking money for it will only make the standing weaker in front of the judge.
The Virgin guy, this dude Branson, he sounds like a kind of fella who knows how to have fun with the money he made. Airplanes, submarines, space craft! Now that's the kind of stuff I am talking about.
That’s what you call fun?
THAT’s what I call FUN!. Of course you can still let a airplane drag yourself, and have some bodyguards in a submarine. But it’s all secondary. ^^
- Limited lifetimes Funny, that's considered the major downside to platter drives. Anyway, this is the same as the first point.
NO. It’s NOT the first point. The first point is a symptom of this. Funny? Not so funny when you notice that your music, movies, project backups etc, are all corrupted and lost. Also not so funny that you will notice it way too late, and all your backups will already contain partially corrupted files. Actually there were viruses who did that exact thing: Write a bit of corruption here, a bit there, slowly, so it ends up on the backup media. If you ever had something like that: It’s the worst possible thing that can happen to your data. And other than ZFS’s constant scrubbing ECC with checksums and a 3-disk mirror, nothing protects you from it. No RAID, no backups, no checksums alone.
- Performance of SSDs degrades with use. Solved. See TRIM.
No. TRIM does not solve that problem. Do you even know what TRIM is?
Note that this is also a problem on platter drives.
I notice a pattern in your arguments: You say that there is the same problem with hard drives, and use the false dichotomy that there would only be the two states of “problem” or “no problem”. When in reality, the question is how much of a problem it is. And the answer is, that it’s much worse for SSDs.
- SATA-based SSDs generally exhibit much slower write speeds. This one doesn't even make sense.
SATA limits the speed. Not only the bus. But also the internal controller. Simple as that.
But then you will also have to use the same amount of redundancy that they use. From a paper I know that they use 3 disk mirroring. Just like airplanes and spacecraft have everything thrice. Because with two disks, you won’t know which of them is right.
But how incredibly much of a total loser do yo have to be, to get a non-real escort girl? I mean if escort girls are more loserish than prostitutes, then WTH is this?
How hard is it to go to a bar, say hello to a girl, and just have fun? Because that’s usually enough. If you just are you, and have fun, without acting all needy and thinking bad about yourself, what does she see? Someone who is fun and interesting. Something one wants to be part of. That’s true for all people. Just be in the flow. Then you take the next step. If she reacts negatively, just take a step back, wait until she misses it, and then try again. Rinse, repeat, close. There, is that so hard? Even if you didn’t go out for a decade, you can do that. Sure, you’ll fail the first times. But that’s just warmup/training. And then it will work.
Really NOBODY needs escorts. Only people who think they can’t get a girl, will even consider something like that.
As long as they still wear out that fast, I’m not putting any data that’s worth anything on one of them. No thanks. Also, it’n not enough that they get on the same price/performance level, to justify a change. They have to be better. And that means at least 2GB SSD disks for less than 100€, with the same or better reliability and performance.
Yes. Everyone who uses the “mouse over = selection, single click = execution” UI scheme, is completely mental, and should be forbidden from ever designing an UI again by court order.
But on a related note: It’s interesting how KDE4 chose to take every single of those bad choices from Windows. The only ones they added are an even more annoying fiddly disaster. (Plasma configuration UI, I’m looking at you. Especially at the Cashew, which has its own plasmoid called “ihatethecashew”.) Dolphin is the prime example. It looks as if they chose the most annoying and least usable way for any single option in there. Which perfectly reminded me of how I had do the same in Windows 95 (!) by going trough all the option and fixing them. In fact I even plan on writing a KDE4antiDAU, just as I had a XPantiDAU and a custom CD for the old Windows line. (DAU = dümmster anzunehmender User = common German term, meaning “dumbest assumable user” [literally] or “worst user scenario” [meaning. Stemming from the worst case scenario for nuclear reactors.])
I should make a funny video series, mocking bad UI designs, in the style of Ricky Gervais and Lewis Black. ^^ KDE4 will definitely fill a season there. But Gnome, Windows and OS X too.
As if I would give a website constant access to my webcam. I don’t even give that to friends, because, who looks presentable when sitting in front of his PC alone? ^^
Long answer: You will ALWAYS have (even low-end) musician sound cards with analog inputs. Since the very point of those sound cards is, to have really good A/D converters. (Often lots of them, and pretty expensive ones too.)
Reality still is analog. Speakers are, Microphones are. And will always be, as long as they exist in reality. And the only difference from a microphone jack and a line-in jack is the amplification. Which is configurable to whatever you like on any serious sound card anyway.:)/me still loves his trusty old DMX 6fire 24/96.:) (I also have a Audigy and a onboard one. And when I switch back and forth, both sound like totally distorted crap.)
Uuum, you can easily survive outer space while completely nude, for at least 30 seconds. It was already done, and NASA even has a FAQ about it. (In short: Keep your mouth OPEN and everything DRY, or you will burst and freeze. But if done right, you only get a swelling of your fingers and face, which returns to normal in a couple of hours. Btw: Radiation is the main problem.) Which makes some seemingly unrealistic movies pretty realistic and cool.

Wrong wording here. It’s:

There is no choice in it.

Blu Ray and CDs are still "spinning media" aren't they?
Yes. And USB sticks still have already put an end to the latter, and will do so to the former too, soon.
Ok, stupid typo. I think it’s obvious that I meant 2 TB. :/
Man, I still remember buying an actual 2 GB one for that price...
